So long, CompUSA

It was announced today that CompUSA will be closing all of its remaining 103 stores. While most people will celebrate this, given CompUSA’s less than stellar customer service, I mourn the news. See, in Augusta there aren’t many options for buying computer hardware. There are a few local computer shops, such as ComputerOne, and several big box stores like Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Target and Circuit City… but that’s it. Our only other option is to buy online. Goodbye, CompUSA.

I guess I am lucky in that I never really had “bad service” when I went there. Usually I hooked up with the Small Business folks and they usually discounted anything I purchased from the store. I only placed one order online for in-store pickup, and never had problems…
